Civic Got a Spring Clean

[makavelli]

Well its nearly a year since i traded the A3 in for the FN2. Really enjoying the car, the cabin is a very nice place to be, the car drives nice for steady work runs and V-tec is addictive when going for a blast.

Due to the weather being so warm today the car only got a quick clean.

Process:

Snow foam with pH neutral snow foam
wheels sprayed with diluted bright wheels
Wash with Mitt and duragloss 901
Tardis on lower half of the car to remove tar spots
Clay lower half with sonus green
Quick blast over the bodywork with Lime Prime on the DA
P21s wax

Got it all done in just over a couple of hours which meant i could retreat into the garden for the afternoon sun :approve:

A couple of pics on the drive when i finished:

Looks clean Andy. How do you get on with the rear wing when parking? I like the Clio as you have great visibility and I can then squeeze into uber tight spaces without fear of swapping paint with other cars.

the spolier took a few weeks to get used to!

its not too bad parking as the car is pretty flat at the back so you kinda know that the cars only slightly longer than the point where you can see the rear window.
The first few attempts i thought i had tucked the car in only to walk around the back and see i had another 6 foot or so until i was in a space haha

I do miss the rear parking sensors that the audi had though, they were great for lazy reverse parking

Not a great fan of the cars but it does look clean.

Looks lovely mate. Great colour for them, quite subtle.

Alabaster silver suits them very well.Silver is normally a boring colour but the lines of the fn2 sets the colour off i think.

Im still loving mine.

I also had my worries about reverse parking but as said the car is quite shut off at the back so soon got used to it...

The FN2 looks really good in silver, nice car. Looks bloody clean too.

Any plans to mod?

Yup they look fine in Silver, Andy.

Good job mate and nice choice of products.

Definitely look into these 2 products for the summer... Silver will explode compared to what you're uing just now.

Everyone will a Silver/white car should own these twins. Epic levels of flake pop and shine on light coloured cars. And so easy to use.

to be honest not really matey, i upgraded the headlights and sidelights and put a panel filter in but thats it

Looks cracking seximouf!

Will it make my GW explode like amphasite?!
